This vase?? erm i dont know what to make of it. Its a teardrop type vase with ribs each side making it have on oval foot. Ground flat in the central area of the base. Nice amethyst pink, and twighlight brown streaks inclusion. It also stands at an angle like the tower of pizza. 7.5 inches tall and weighs 400gram on kitchen scales. Any takers on what, who....why?

[rosieposie]

If I had a pound for every one of these I have seen I could retire. Never seen a lopsided one though!

I've never seen such an "odditiy" actually managing to escape from Caithness!

It's skew-wiff, the base has a bit of frothy bubbling - it's below par to what they would have allowed out as a second.

Rosie - of course mine isn't skew-whiff . . . and despite Nemmie's comment I think it is rather special!
